DETROIT (AP) — A 1-year-old boy who was shot twice by his 6-year-old brother after the older child found a handgun in a Detroit home is “very fortunate” to be alive, police said.
The toddler was in a baby bouncer Wednesday evening when his sibling grabbed an unregistered handgun in the home and shot the 1-year-old once through the cheek and once through the left shoulder, Detroit police said.
The boy remained hospitalized as of Thursday morning, WDIV-TV reported.
Assistant Detroit Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald called Wednesday’s shooting “preventable” and urged households with firearms to safely store those weapons.
“We are very, very fortunate that child is still with us,” he told reporters.
